There will always be poverty and there will always be huge wealth. Even in Soviet Russia and Mao's China, that was true. And nobody can say they didn't try to fix that 'problem.' Virtually the whole would would all agree that we'd prefer to not have it, and so many have made attempts, but no one has eliminated poverty, and those who have made a run at wealth equality the most fervently, like Mao, also killed billions in the process of failing to accomplish it. My only point is that it's clearly a much harder problem than you pretend it is.
